Residential Parking Information

 

 

Some communities in Calgary require a parking permit. To find out if your community does, please click here. For information on Visitors Permits, click here.

Please note that not all addresses within the boundary of a zone are eligible for permits. Please call us at 403-537-7000 to confirm whether the address is able to receive a permit.

The fine for parking in a residential parking zone without displaying a valid permit is $75. Please read all posted signs for the zone specific restrictions in your area.

Important Changes to Residential Parking Permits

  1. Effective November 1, 2011, dwellings requiring more than 2 vehicle permits will be required to pay $50 plus GST ($52.50) for the third and subsequent permits issued. Payment by cash, cheque, credit card or debit card will be accepted. (Note: this does not apply to Visitor permits.)
  2. If you move or sell your vehicle before your vehicle permit(s) expire, you are required to return your vehicle permit(s) to the Calgary Parking Authority.

These changes are the result of a revision to the Calgary Traffic Bylaw 26M96 under section 20 (3)(a)

The Calgary Parking Authority is authorized to issue the following permits per dwelling unit:

(i) TWO (2) vehicle specific permits at no cost, and

(ii) Additional vehicle specific permits upon payment of an annual fee of $50.00 plus GST per sticker.

Please note: The Calgary Parking Authority issues residential parking permits and enforces their restrictions, but City of Calgary Roads establishes residential parking zones. Visit www.calgary.ca for information on how to establish a residential parking permit zone.
